ORiGiN™ Theatrical
An Australian Independent music company owned and managed by Philip Walker and Philip Mortlock.
The two Philip’s came together in 1993 to combine their respective industry skills and develop a group of independent music companies with solid accountability and creative flair.
The substantial increase in Australian talent combined with the growing international catalogues and interests has lifted ORiGiN’s profile and potential to become one of the few Australian owned and pro active independent music companies in this market.
ORiGiN™ Theatrical was created in 2004 with the appointment of Kim Ransley (formerly of Warner/Chappell Music Australia) as ORiGiN™ Theatrical’s Managing Director and the establishment of the exclusive representation of theatrical rights to the Rodgers & Hammerstein and Really Useful Group catalogues.
ORiGiN™ Theatrical now represents some of the most successful and popular musicals in the world including THE SOUND OF MUSIC, CATS, JOSEPH & THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, SOUTH PACIFIC, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY, MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT, FOOTLOOSE, CAROUSEL, OKLAHOMA!, THE COLOR PURPLE, CINDERELLA, DUSTY - THE ORIGINAL POP DIVA, SHOUT! THE LEGEND OF THE WILD ONE and CURTAINS.
